INJURIES
Jonathan Taylor - Not seen at Friday's practice Taylor (ankle) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday either, and his apparent absence from Friday's session has him trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Colts' upcoming injury report is set to provide the Week 7 game status of both Taylor and top backup Trey Sermon (knee), who was limited at practice Thursday.

Josh Downs - Limited in return to practice Downs (toe) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Impact Downs managed just one practice last week, logging a full session Friday before catching seven of nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. Limited participation Thursday puts him on track for multiple practices this week, but his fantasy value takes a hit even if things are moving in a positive direction with the toe injury, as Anthony Richardson's expected return to the starting QB role portends fewer passer attempts and a lower completion rate (relative to what Downs experienced catching passes from Joe Flacco the past three games). Downs has a team-high 28 percent target share since making his season debut Week 3, with Michael Pittman getting 21 percent and every other Colt at 12 percent or lower over the past four games.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Alec Pierce - New addition to injury report Pierce (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Pierce practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Colts' Week 7 injury report a day later is notable. Friday's report should help reveal whether Pierce's new injury is a minor concern or something that could affect his availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Full practice participant Pittman (back) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Impact Pittman will continue playing through his back injury Sunday against the Dolphins, but his fantasy value takes a hit with Anthony Richardson expected to step back in ahead of Joe Flacco at quarterback. Pittman accounts for 31.9 percent of the targets from Richardson this year, but just 13 of those have been completed -- for 148 yards and no TDs -- and Pittman's share of the passing game has declined some since Josh Downs returned from an ankle injury Week 3. Pittman nonetheless had his three best fantasy scores of the season the past three weeks, benefitting from more passing volume and a higher completion rate with Flacco under center.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Limited at practice Thursday Sermon (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Impact After missing Wednesday's session, Sermon's return to the field -- albeit in a limited capacity -- a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Sermon is able to practice fully Friday, he could head into the weekend without an injury designation, with his Week 7 status of particular import due to Jonathan Taylor's (ankle) continued absence from practice.

2025 NFL mock draft: Ashton Jeanty surges up board, Travis Hunter remains No. 1
Trey Sermon - Back at practice Sermon (knee) returned to practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sermon missed Wednesday's session, but his return to the field one day later bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Dolphins. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) still sidelined Thursday, Sermon appears to be in a position to continue to see an expanded workload this weekend, provided his knee issue doesn't affect his Week 7 availability.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Still not practicing Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor, who hasn't practiced or played since sustaining a right high ankle sprain during Week 4 action, now has one more chance to log practice reps ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If he remains sidelined this weekend, Trey Sermon --who returned to practice Thursday -- and Tyler Goodson would be in line to lead the Colts' Week 7 backfield, provided Sermon is available.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Downs - Returns to practice Thursday Downs (toe) is participating in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Downs and fellow starting wideout Michael Pittman (back) both missed Wednesday's practice and are back on the field Thursday. During Indianapolis' win over the Titans in Week 6, Downs secured seven of his team-high nine targets for 66 yards and a score, while playing a season-high 80 percent of offensive snaps. He entered the game against Tennessee carrying a 'questionable' designation, and it sounds like Downs will again attempt to play through injury Sunday against Miami. Notably, the Colts anticipate getting quarterback Anthony Richardson back in the starting lineup versus the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Back at practice Pittman (back) is participating in Thursday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pittman is back at practice Thursday after having missed Wednesday's session, with the same going for fellow starting wideout Josh Downs (toe). During Indianapolis' win over the Titans in Week 6, Pittman played through his back injury and corralled three of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. It looks like Pittman will again attempt to play through his back issue Sunday versus Miami, a game in which Anthony Richardson should be back in the starting lineup.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • Associated Press
Ryan Kelly - Missing Wednesday's practice Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Kelly (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact The Colts' top center sustained a calf injury in Sunday's win over the Titans, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. If Kelly cannot upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, expect Tanor Bortolini to serve as Indianapolis' starting center in Week 7.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dayo Odeyingbo - Misses Wednesday's practice Odeyingbo (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Odeyingbo returned in the second half of the Colts' Week 6 win over the Titans after sustaining a hamstring injury earlier in the game. However, Wednesday's DNP indicates he's still nursing the issue and could be in jeopardy of missing more time. Odeyingbo will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Colts' Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Richardson - Full practice participant Richardson (oblique) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that he expected Richardson to return and start this Sunday against the Dolphins. A full practice confirms the plan is on track, although Richardson was also a full participant last Thursday and didn't end up playing in Sunday's eventual 20-17 win over the Titans. In light of how things played out last week, fantasy managers will want to see confirmation from Steichen before Sunday that Richardson is in fact starting against the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Not practicing to start week Sermon (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Neither is Jonathan Taylor, whose absence the past two weeks due to an ankle injury allowed Sermon to make back-to-back starts and take 16 and 18 touches. Sermon apparently came out of Sunday's 20-17 win over the Titans with a knee injury, although he was still getting carries up until the final minute of the game. He's averaging just 2.6 YPC as the starter 2.5 for the season, perhaps opening the door for Tyler Goodson to get more carries if Taylor is out for another week. Goodson could really be busy if both Taylor and Sermon end up missing Sunday's game against Miami.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Downs - Held out of practice Downs (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Downs played through the injury Sunday against the Titans, catching seven of his team-high nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 victory. He missed the first two practice last week but then returned as a full participant Friday and ended up handling his normal workload (80 percent snap share, 79 percent route share) after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. With no reports of a setback, Downs seemingly has a good chance to play against this Sunday against the Dolphins, although his volume projection takes a hit with Anthony Richardson expected to step back in ahead of Joe Flacco at quarterback.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Not practicing Pittman (back) isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pittman played through the injury Sunday against the Titans, catching three of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown while running routes on a team-high 84 percent of dropbacks. Reports last week suggested a stint on injured reserve was being considered, but it seems Pittman will try to play through his back injury for the time being. The Colts host the Dolphins this Sunday.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Not practicing Wednesday Taylor (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor, who has missed two straight contests, thus has two more chances to return to practice in advance of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Meanwhile, Trey Sermon (knee) is also absent from practice Wednesday, leaving Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull as the Colts' top healthy RBs at this stage of the week.
OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Contending with knee issue Sermon is dealing with a knee injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact With top back Jonathan Taylor having missed time with an ankle injury and Sermon now contending with an ankle issue, the Colts signed Salvon Ahmed to their practice squad Wednesday, bolstering the depth of a backfield that also includes Tyler Goodson and Evan Hull. The team's upcoming practice report will provide added context with regard to Taylor and Sermon's Week 7 status by clarifying their participation level.
